Duke is a runaway champion in USA TODAY's March Madness salary bracket, which uses PayScale data and can be found online at payscale.com/2009-march-madness-predictions. Runner-up universities are Cornell ($91,700), Southern California ($91,600) and California ($91,400),
Sounds about right...
... since the schools above Cal.... have less than 10,000 undergrads and are "private" while Cal has close to 25,000 and the kids don't come from "privileged" pedigree.
Just bright kids... without a "Silver spoon"... waiting for them at the end of the table.
